Caffeine appears to be having very bad effects on me when taking parnate. I have not had coffee or any caffeine all day and I have been fine. It is now 2 hours after my 2nd 10mgs dose and I have have had zero symptoms. I have taken my BP 3 times in the past two hours. All were around 115/78.
I will not take another dose today, and will continue on 20 Mgs until after a week to get to my theraputic doseage. Hopefully tomorrow will be just like today (no issues).
Coffee was the one thing that I wasn't keeping an eye on. I'm usually a good pot a day kinda guy. It really doesn't do much for me, minus appetite supression, but I love the taste. I was drinking a lot of it during Parnate and there are articles and findings online that say it is not good to combine caffeine in large amounts when taking Parnate. I will continue staying off coffee for the next fews days to confirm this. I will slowly introduce my morning cup back in and stick with that, after I feel I'm doing ok. I will not have anything more than that.
Hopefully, it's smooth sailing from here on out.
